Shared resources in maximo?

I've developed a report that uses an image called draft.jpg. The image is on a master page i'm using. I put draft.jpg in the Shared Resources folder when i was working with the report designer. The image came up fine. When I imported my birt report to maximo the image doesn't show up anymore. Is there something extra I have to do to get the image to show? Should I import it somehow?

Unfortunately, I don't have Maximo to be able to check, but this seems to discuss the resource issue. Let me know.

I did this by using a library file.
 
Create a new rptlibrary in BIRT. Add your image to the library. On your report, use the image from the library.
 
Select your report record from Report Administration in Maximo. On the Select Action menu select Import Library File. Use the browse button to select your rptlibrary file, give it a description and click OK.
 
Once the library is imported, you can use its contents on any of your reports (don't need to import for each report that uses draft.jpg).

Paul,
 
Say i put my images in the newly created rptlibrary and import it, how do I reference that library from my report?

In your BIRT development environment, put a copy of the library file in your Maximo libraries folder. The folder should also have MaximoSystemLibrary.rptlibrary and a bunch of .properties files.
 
You can access library from the Resource Explorer (Window->Show View->Resource Explorer).
